I bought an Artic Fox Fifth Wheel Silver Edition for quality and value at a medium price. According to their customer service they recommend skirting around the base when temps drop below 0 degrees( I have not had to do that yet) I spent 6 days in -5 temps and the heater worked almost non-stop. With dual pane windows and all the extra insulation/foil protection in ceiling the mfg. claims as a plus, I noticed aluminum frame conducts COLD to the walls, overall you can survive with this type of setup but will have to pay propane and electric heater usage. I respect and learn from all the previous camper post that have actually camped in subzero temps. thank you for you input.

    Hi. I appreciated your post. I an a 73 year-old eternal Girl Scout new to anything that isn't s tent or a tree house. I have a 22' Forest River Freedom pop-up camper that I love dearly but putting the thing up and down is getting harder, and I want to buy a 25' 5th wheel that will keep me warm Mid Spring through Late fall. It doesn't have to be new. On fixed income. Do you have any advice for me?
